Plain Facts for the Consideration Of OWN

Are your stables for your cows warm
and well ventilated, SO as to be both
comfortable and sweet? If not. set to
work at once to make them so. for in
this you will find true economy--both
a saving of food and an increased pro-
duet, if you are making butter or
cheese, or simply peddling milk. But
do not seek to secure warmth by the
close confinement of your cows. There
must be a free circulation of air in
order to secure the good health of the
cows and a sweet-flavored product.
If with good ventilation. letting
the air in at the head Of the
cows and out at the rear, you can
not keep up the required temperature,
then resort to artificial heating. twill
pay. Once the arrangements are made
for heating. the expense will be COM
paratively small, as high temperature
will not be required. The range of
temperature for health and comfort is
about fifteen degrees-that is, from
forty-five to sixty degrees Fahr. Be-
low this. cows standing in the stall will
begin to shiver and feel uncomfortable;
above, discomfort follows and they will
begin to pant. 1t is much cheaper to
burn fuel in a heater than food in the

A Sleeping Harness.

Americans invented the sleeping-car.
but German has invented the sleeping
harness, if we may SO call it. that makes
the car less needful. Broad straps sup
port the arms; they pass through
moose over the head so that either arm
can be lowered, which gives one
chance to change ones position. The
head is supported by a pad. which is
attached to the upper part Of the arm
straps. The back. Of course. rests
against the back Of the seat. Thus the
world changes. In old times beds and
pionos were horizontal. Now, both are
often upright. The new harness is the
natural sequel Of this change; it will
enable man to sleep in his parlor bed
stead without ticking it down.-S0s

way the roots of the plants are sent
down deeper to find the moisture. and
surface roots are not so liable to be

A young lady who is contemplating
purchasing an ulster will have one that
is not 50 common in appearance If the
cape and sleeves are bordered with fur.
It is best to save money for the fur on
the ulster. One Of all-woOl cloth. nicely
made. may be purchased for from $l2
to SIS. and 8 or a will buy sufficient
two-inch fur to border the cape, neck
and sleeves.
Long fur muffs and boas of natural
lynx and other similar furs are ex-
tremcly fashionable and becoming to
young ladies. The boa costs from 8 to
325 and the muff about the same, but
both can be made at home out Of the
same quality of fur for just One-half the
money. For the boa buy three yards
of some long-haired fur, in what is
called the two-inch width, and another
yard for the muff. Take the boa fur.
and with very long needle and strong
waxed linen thread sew the ends to-
gether. If the fur is not lined the cavity
must be filed with plenty Of soft cotton
cut in long strips. The joining will
not show if little care is taken. The
muff may be made Of any kind Of ma
terial. the fur cut in two strips and
passed around it, being firmly fastened
toward the inside. The close-nap furs
are not so easily manipulated by anna
teurs. but may be made to look as well
with care. A beaver set of this kind
will cost from 8 to $l5. and it may be
made at home for a or $6. Of fur per-
haps even better in quality.
A little jacket made Of quilted silk
should be in the possession Of almost
every woman who wears . wrap. in
stead of one of the close jackets. It
may be made with or without sleeves.
and should he worn on very cold days
as an additional protection. Inside
waists, made Of chamois skin, are less
bulky and answer the purpose just as
well.-N. y. Journal.

New York Store.
Years ago, into wholesale grocery

lar-looking man. evidently fresh
conner from some backwOods town IN
Maine or New Hampshire. Accostine
the first person he met, who happened
to be the merchant himself. he asked:

'DOner' said the stranger.
And by this time every clerk in the
store had gathered around. and was
waiting to join in the laugh against the
man, who. walking up to the sack.
threw it across his shoulder with perfect
ease. as it was not extremely heavy,
and. walking with it twice across the
floor. went quietly to q large hook
which was fastened to the wall. and
hanging it up. turned to the merchant
and said:
There. now! it may hang there till
doomsday; 1 shall never lay it down.

me plenty to do. and hundred dollars
